rear dash cam camera placement

[jshaf]

where in the rear glass do you have your rear camera for a two channel dash cam set up. Pics

In the top center, right where the rectangle defrost line is. I'll post a pic later.

how hard was it running the power cable inside the head liner or around the side?

spent a few months reading and comparing dual channels, came down to the black vue 650 and Thinkware F750, Thinkware won out. read several comparison of the two head to head and there were subtle differences with neither being a obvious choice over the other. Black vue wasn't carried anywhere locally, the thinkware was carried at my local bestbuy where I already had an account plus got a really good deal for 227.00 for it on sale, so rolled all the extra's in to a package an got 12 month financing so I could spread the payments out and avoid interest also. now I have a better reason to get the SS out of winter storage a bit earlier

Not hard at all. Just tuck it in between the headliner and the windshield, across to the top edge of the A pillar. From the A pillar to the rear is the easiest. You just peel the edge of the weather stripping between headliner and the edge of the door opening all the way to the rear window,,,,tucking the cable in as you go.

Won't be disappointed in the Thinkware F750. Have two of those as well. They seem to handle the Texas heat better than the BlackVues. The F750 has a few more features and you won't need a separate battery monitoring accessory to keep your battery from draining.

that is what I was told by Jessica Rizzo on youtube, turn down the sensitivity of the motion detection and should be good. what sized of card are you using? I read on a couple forums that some have used 128 cards in them but I went with the recommended 64 limit the web site suggested. really looking forward to the parking mode, like knowing when people are too close to the SS

I'm using the cards that came with the cameras. I believe those are 16 GB if I'm not mistaken. You have to be careful with higher capacity cards. I've read where some have had issues with those and have had to go back to the original cards that came with the cameras.

that is why I went with the 64, didn't want to push my luck, thanks for the info on running the wires, have a one channel cheap one I have run for a couple years just wanted something nicer with more features. especially park mode. kind of digging the light on the front of the unit, was thinking of maybe getting some black vinyl stickers to cover the grey portions of the camera. make it less noticeable.
